Important notes
Always keep the meter switched off when
not actually taking readings.
I>eaving the
meter switched on will rapidly exhaust the
battery.
It is also necessary to keep the
meter switched off when mounting a Super-
Takumar or SMC Takumar lens on the
Spotmatic Ila camera body.
If it is
switched on, the tip of the automatic
diaphragm release pin of the lens will hit
the pin release plate inside the camera
body and it may get damaged.
When removing the Super-Multi-Coated
Takumar 50mm f/1.4 lens from the
camera body, do not place it on
its threaded end without the rear
mount cap in place, or you will
scratch its rear element lens.
When the index of the shutter speeds
turns to red, it indicates that the
shutter and film speed settings are
off the meter's measurability range.
Change the shutter speed setting
to a faster or slower setting.
Refer to page 15.
When the meter is the switched on, the
lens (any Super-Takumar or SMC Takumar
lens) is in its manual position even when
the diaphragm preview lever is in "AUTO"
(automatic) position.
When the meter is
switched off manually, or automatically
after shutter release, the lens returns
to its automatic position when it is set
in "AUTO" position.
